ok so 6-2x=6x-10x+2 you can either get rid of the variable or the number, imma show u the number so subtract 6 from both sides so it'll be -2x=6x-10x+2-6 cause 6 is on the other side then do 6x-10x=-4x so -2x=-4x+2-6 then do 2-6=-4 so -2x=-4x-4 then add 4x to both sides so 2x=-4 divide by 2 on both sides x=-2 if u need a better explanation tell me i just tried to type it out asap
